Grand Slam Day 5 - Australian Open 2024

[BobbyMorri]

Have fun Medvedev.

try and finish before 2am for everyone.

(in before a 4am finish)

He did not finish before 2am....

It was nearly 4am.

Anyway, "day 6" is here

Grand Slam - Day 6 - Australian Open 2024

I should try and get this done before Day 5 ends up in the morning of day 6. So, day 4 was full of one-sided matches. Today, has seen a lot of matches go the distance. Heck, even Iga has to fight for 3 hours. Indeed, only 1 mans match went to 3 straight sets. I won't count Medvedev, in this, he...

Watching the matches one thing is very apparent, the courts are so slow. Painfully slow. I wonder who this favours as no one seems to be overly convincing outside of Sinner but he’s played no one. Maybe Medvedev although he dropped a set too. Tonight may give us some indication.

Good win by Paul, who looks set to set up another clash with Carlos in R4.

looks like Sloane Stephens with the upset in 3

[mattpolo8]

18 out of the top 20 in the men's draw still in
fun fact: aussies are placed 42nd, 43rd and 44th in the world. wild.

8 out of the top 20 women's are still in

 

[BobbyMorri]

I know she started late because she came through the college system but she can't be that old

I read that she was 30.

last couple of years have been a struggle. injures and the like. She had a serious issue with her uterus back in 2021. I suspect that she is retiring to have a baby.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I like Sonego

Everyone else playing today (Med Carlos etc.)

 

[Drummond]

Zheng wins with an ace! Let’s go! Has a good draw too.

A lot going on. If Kokki’s match goes 3 hours which it could (even though I think it’s 3-0 Grigor), Ajla won’t be on until nearly 10. Crazy. Maybe they move it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Love for one of Sabalenka or Rybakina to smoke Iga

Ostapenko will smoke her she does it every time they play

Struff is into a 5th set now

 

[BobbyMorri]

Struff is into a 5th set now

Such a Struff thing to do....

Think they should have picked a bigger court for Nagal vs Shang than court 12. That place looks packed!!!!!! Full of Indians and Chinese.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Go Sonego

 

[YeoShuey]

ADF lost… LOL.

Gives Dimitrov an even easier run.

All the courts are packed today, I heard…must be a good day for tennis!

In before Dimitrov loses to some scrub as usual

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Great stuff

 

[Munich]

ADF lost… LOL.

He's gotta overcome Kokk first

Should beat Kokkinakis. Was concerned about him against ADF but that is no longer a problem now so will probably beat Borges too. Medvedev will be the trick one if that ends up being the matchup.

Medvedev comfortably happy ADF is out so Med is fresh for the semi

Needs to win the QF first which will not be easy.

ADF has had a really poor last 6 months. Not sure what’s happening. Probably mental.

Also Mirra on court 3 tomorrow, meanwhile Frech/Zakharova on Kia. Weird. I know theres minimal difference between the two but still.

He’ll win the QF

 

[YeoShuey]

He’ll win the QF

Wouldn’t be so confident in that one. Depends what version of Rune shows up. He’d have the advantage but hard to say he would win it.

Rune will barely make it
